What Glades County has to offer beyond the Classroom.
Glades County is a mecca for outdoor enthusiasts from world class fishing in Lake Okeechobee or cruising the Caloosahatchee River to kayaking and camping at Fisheating Creek State Park. If that wasn’t enough the Florida Everglades, a national environmental treasure, is just to our south. We also offer eight parks and other recreational activities.
